SAAB 94 Sonett I, 1956

The Saab Sonett, also called the Super Sport or Saab 94, was introduced on 16 March 1956 at Stockholm's Bilsalong (motor show).

Featuring a three-cylinder 748 cc two-stroke engine generating 57.5 horsepower in a aluminium box-style chassis from Swedish designer Sixten Sason, the Sonett I was an advanced low-weight 600 kg racer based on aircraft design concepts.

Only six Sonett I vehicles were made between 1955 and early 1957, all RHD. The original prototype, known as "No. 1" and built with a manually-crafted "fiberglass" body, served as the reference model for the other five cars.
